Two seasons ago, #2 Texas played Alabama in the National Championship. They did not win the game, but merely being there is considered an honor. The following season was a complete embarassment though. The Longhorns posted a record of 5 wins and 7 losses. Even worse was their conference play. Texas managed to win only 2 out of their 8 conference games landing them in last place in the South Division of the Big 12. Today, Texas and ESPN reach a 20-year, $300 million deal. I found such a long deal obsurd, especially the timing. One year they are in a National Championship, the next they do not qualify for a Bowl Game. A lot can happen to a schools program in a season, 20 years is just too big of a risk to me.
